You know the people participating in most of Mr.Beast videos are poor because, well that's the point of the videos in a lot of cases. I'd say a lot of his videos are fine, but some of them can be quite jarring. In a lot of them fo

This makes little sense to me? Investing in public transportation is a much more means tested way of reducing traffic accidents. Countries with good public transportation infrastructure have much less traffic deaths per 100k than car focuse

This was an interesting perspective! Also, I want to say, we do use ants to labour for us; something he describes in his post. Meat eating ants are used in museums to obtain clean bones for display purposes! You leave a dead rat and you com

It's really cool. But that price just makes it completely unaffordable for most people, and this will have to rely heavily on developers developing exclusive apps for it... at this point, it feels like apple is putting a bit too much p

Well you can only vote either Republican or Democrat, should you become a single issue voter? What if neither of the parties is really proposing strong housing regulation anyway. Like, who are people actually supposed to vote for that will

It is mentioned in the article about a woman working full time, yet still unable to afford rent. I think a big steps towards resolving homelessness should go in addressing the housing market; which in California is really really bad. This i

I imagine they're blasé about it precisely because they know these belong to no known actor, so far, they haven't shown any kind of signs of aggression towards anyone. So, I think, these are viewed more like animals than anything

Carbon capture is not going to get us out of this. If you have a problem that is caused mainly by over-consumption but your approach is to just wait for a sort of tech-hail mary to come; it's a logically flawed approach. It seems more

I'm not sure I follow your logic to say sales taxes are not regressive. And I don't think a strawman is the right argument for it. It is regressive and it's clearly so because someone living, for example off minimum wage, wil

But if the lobbying laws have been passed by the people who were previously unlawfully doing lobbying then what kind of validaty do they have to begin with? I mean to me the big issue is that these are laws that corrupt democracy (in the se

As it says very well in the post. It seems like people that are in charge of mastodon don't really think things are wrong the way they are, and that's the biggest issue imo but also, maybe mastodon just doesn't want to be an

Just because something is lawful doesn't make it good or desirable. I'm sure you can think of many historical examples of lawful actions that are now considered a crime. The opposite is also true. Many laws are a product of the ti

Although I don't think the person you're replying to is in the right. There are three branches of government, legislative, executive and judicial and replacing the legislators is probably the easiest out of all and the one that&#x

Maybe I have a skewed view of the world, but I personally really don't care if something has been created by an AI or a human for most things. I mean, sure, it's nice to know you have some shoes that have been done by a person but

So now that he has a competitor to the platform I guess Musk is no longer "the singular solution" to the twitter problem. I really dislike how the media will just pick on these comments and write whole articles about them with bar

People love to bring up this argument which was quite well developed by philosopher Peter Singer but every time I see it (in many contexts) they always fall short of the continuation of it. There's a big difference between the richest

I thought by this point we'd have an official version of steamOS released for the public. The user experience of steam OS is much better than windows on these kind of machines, it's not comparable. The problem comes from support f

You know, it's probably not that difficult for them to actually ask some of the organisations/people that will be affected by big changes how they would feel about it before they implement them. Ideally you'd want to validate

Pretty sure this is not possible due to patenting issues. It's not that they wouldn't want to do things in a similar way, it's that they can't.

If doubles are not a copyright infringement then using AI to "double" someone should be in a similar category, no?

I mostly agree with you, except on one aspect. We cannot rely on support from parents, the system we design needs to be thought of with parents out of the equation because in the case of the most vulnerable of kids they will not have parent

I call to question the so-called "chilean economic miracle". For Chile, although its economy did develop it's difficult is it really fair to attribute this to the policies of Pinochet? There was a good article I read from Noa

I'm sorry but it's impossible not to acknowledge the fact that this person makes a living from people who are looking to "prepare" for disasters. So the bias is just too great for this content to be taken seriously. Alth

Well it would be interesting to see who is using the libraries that we have and what are the book they're renting. The purpose of a library should be to give access to reading materials to everyone, and I think the reality is that the

I use chatGPT sometimes to ask it to do certain simple things for me, but I guess what I do at work is much more dependent on very specific knowledge rather than code itself. So actually most of my work is spent on the debugger, maybe with

Has Pytorch and numpy's quality gone down though? These projects are funded by several organisations that rely on them for their operations. This is the same for Linux, just because the software is accesible for free doesn't mean
